Zack Snyder was interview about his upcoming Justice League film and gave some good information on Superman, Batman, and more. We talk about that, plus our first look at the Batman & Harley Quinn film, Katie Cassidy returning to Arrow, and WGN's Scalped pilot.

Justice League interview with Zack Snyder - USA Today

Batman takes the lead in putting together a new super-team to protect Earth. “He’s been a loner for certainly his crime-fighting career, maybe with the exception of Robin,” Snyder says. “When we meet him in BvS, he’s definitely at this low point of isolation. That was always our intention, that Justice League would be this continuation for Batman to evolve into a more complete hero.”

“It’s hard to have a Justice League without Superman. That’s how I feel about it,” Snyder says with a laugh.

“It was always a super-intriguing concept to me to have this opportunity to have him make that sacrifice but also have him be this, in a weird sort of way, the why of Justice League: What do you do now with him? What does the team think? What does the world need?”

*Spoilers* for The Flash Season 3, Episode 17 “Duet” in this review and recap.

Official Synopsis:

Barry (Grant Gustin) and team are surprised when Mon-El (guest star Chris Wood) and Hank Henshaw (guest star David Harewood) arrive on their Earth carrying a comatose Supergirl (guest star Melissa Benoist) who was whammied by the Music Meister (guest star Darren Criss). Unable to wake her up, they turn to Team Flash to save her. However, the Music Meister surprises The Flash and puts him in a similar coma, one that Team Flash can’t cure. Kara and Barry wake up without their powers in an alternate reality where life is like a musical and the only way to escape is by following the script, complete with singing and dancing, to the end.
